TLDR
HAV belongs to the Picornaviridae family of viruses and the genus Hepatovirus, which consists of small non-enveloped viruses that survive better in the environment compared to enveloped viruses, such as herpes simplex virus.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Viral Quasispecies Evolution
TL;DR: The understanding of viruses as quasispecies has led to new antiviral designs, such as lethal mutagenesis, whose aim is to drive viruses toward low fitness values with limited chances of fitness recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foodborne viruses: an emerging problem.

TL;DR: The viral contamination of food can occur anywhere in the process from farm to fork, but most foodborne viral infections can be traced back to infected persons who handle food that is not heated or otherwise treated afterwards, therefore, emphasis should be on stringent personal hygiene during preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis E: an emerging awareness of an old disease.
TL;DR: Although hepatitis E was recognized as a new disease in 1980, the virus was first visualized in 1983 and its genome was cloned and characterized in 1991, the disease is probably ancient but not recognized until modern times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis A: Old and New
TL;DR: The hepatitis A virus (HAV), a picornavirus, is a common cause of hepatitis worldwide and pooled immune serum globulin is efficacious in the prevention and attenuation of disease in exposed individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development, Evaluation, and Standardization of a Real-Time TaqMan Reverse Transcription-PCR Assay for Quantification of Hepatitis A Virus in Clinical and Shellfish Samples
TL;DR: A standardized real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay has been developed for an accurate estimation of the number of genome copies of hepatitis A virus (HAV) in clinical and shellfish samples and proved to be highly specific after a broad panel of enteric viruses was tested.
